Curiosity about collective affect is undergoing a revival in many fields. This literature, tracing back to Le Bon's seminal work on crowd psychology, has established the veracity of collective affect and demonstrated its influence on a wide range of group dynamics. More recently, an interest in the perception of collective affect has emerged, revealing a need for a methodological approach for assessing collective emotion recognition to complement measures of individual emotion recognition. This article addresses this need by introducing the Emotional Aperture Measure (EAM). Three studies provide evidence that collective affect recognition requires a processing style distinct from individual emotion recognition and establishes the validity and reliability of the EAM. A sample of working managers further shows how the EAM provides unique insights into how individuals interact with collectives. We discuss how the EAM can advance several lines of research on collective affect.
在许多领域，对集体情感的好奇正在复兴。这些文献可追溯到勒庞关于群体心理的开创性著作，证实了集体情感的真实性，并展示了其对广泛的群体动态的影响。最近，人们对集体情感感知产生了兴趣，这表明需要一种评估集体情感识别的方法，以补充个体情感识别的测量方法。本文通过引入情感孔径测量法（EAM）来满足这一需求。三项研究提供了证据，表明集体情感识别需要一种不同于个体情感识别的处理方式，并确立了EAM的有效性和可靠性。一组在职经理的样本进一步展示了EAM如何为个体与集体的互动方式提供独特见解。我们讨论了EAM如何推动关于集体情感的多个研究方向。
